To Peter’s children and Grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your Papa and Nana with all of us to protect East Boston. How many meetings through the years did we share our opinions and differences but always beginning and ending with a Hug . Because PaPa was always kind, always with a smile, and always caring for Jeffries Point and all of East Boston. PaPa is another Beacon shinning in Heaven, our new Star right there with Nana. I hope you will always talk to them, in some way I hope each of you keeps their Spirits alive, with your Family Traditions....May God Bless Each and Every One of You, he often spoke of you with such love ❤ a d he was so Proud of you. Always be Proud of Papa and Nana..
With love and Gratitude,
